python-tuskarclient/README.rst
Jiri Stransky f84f2936d5 A few tweaks for readme
* Reword the intro sentence to make CLI sound equally important as
  Python client :)

* Change clone url from tuskar org to stackforge org and change it to
  https, because ssh cloning requires the user to have a Github
  account.

* Format paragraphs to keep line length under 72 chars.

===================
python-tuskarclient
===================
python-tuskarclient is a Python client and a command-line interface
for `Tuskar <https://github.com/stackforge/tuskar>`_.
Getting Started
===============
Clone the repo::
$ git clone https://github.com/stackforge/python-tuskarclient.git
Then, use ``tox`` to set up a virtual environment and run tests::
$ cd python-tuskarclient
$ tox
When this is done, activate your virtual environment::
$ source .tox/py27/bin/activate
Finally, use this script to build the wrapper script in your virtual
environment for the CLI tools::
$ python setup.py develop
Use from Python
===============
For using ``python-tuskarclient`` within a Python application, `this
wiki page <https://github.com/tuskar/python-tuskarclient/wiki/Usage>`_
provides the most complete documentation.
Use from the CLI
================
On the command line, ``python-tuskarclient`` implements the ``tuskar``
command.
First, be sure to run all of the steps in the Getting Started section,
above, and that you have not deactivated your virtual environment.
Then, export these two environment variables, customizing them if
necessary::
$ export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=nopass
$ export TUSKAR_URL=http://localhost:6385/
(Note that 'nopass' is the correct value in a default setup with no
authentication.)
Now you may interact with Tuskar by using the ``tuskar``
command. ``tuskar --help`` with list full usage details. You can use
``tuskar rack-list`` as an example.
